摘要
We described optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis from ex situ spectroscopic ellipsometry (ex situ SE) measurements made on nanocrystalline thin films over a spectral range of 0.734 to 4.00 eV. We determined the complex refractive index function, n similar to(omega) = n(omega) + i kappa(omega), by fitting a layered parametric model to the ellipsometric measurements. We collected SE measurements at an incidence angle of 70 degrees. We also determined absorption coefficient spectra using extinction coefficient, kappa and wavelength, lambda. The direct optical bandgap of the films was obtained as 3.2 eV using the ellipsometric method.
